IIRC Theymos verifies the releases himself before he updates the news, i.e. he checks the code, runs a gitian build, and checks the hashes with the released ones. However, given that the forum is currently under a DDoS attack, it is likely that Theymos has not updated the news yet as he is still dealing with the DDoS.
Edit: The new version is posted now on the news section.
Yeah I saw it. Reddit also takes a lot of extra time to update the "latest version" on the right of the page. The forum is now working great, theymos also fixed it. I wonder who is against all those DDoS attacks. Maybe bitcoin.com? im sure those guys are jealous that this is the biggest bitcoin forum on the internet.
